Programming Paradigm
--------------------

This python package is mainly authored according to a functional programming 
paradigm, however, strictly adhering to said seemed ignorant, since not all 
objects in Python are immutable anyway. Modification of mutable input objects 
are therefore not regarded as side-effects per se, due to the contractual nature
of a function's parameter signature.
